A stark yet hopeful black-and-white photo portrait of Jewish children today in Eastern Europe. Many of them have had to overcome a heritage of silence and fear, a legacy willed to them by confused and broken parents and grandparents who survived the Holocaust. With the advent of the breakdown of communism in Eastern Europe, the children are for the first time learning what it means to be Jewish--other than hiding from the sticks and stones of anti-Semitism. These photo vignettes range far and wide--they include children in East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, and Hungary--and they present a rounded picture of the past horrors, the present hopes, and the future uncertainties of Jewish life in the heartland of the Holocaust. Yet, overall, the children Strom has interviewed leave young readers with reason for cautious optimism. Despite their varied outlooks and backgrounds, they repeatedly emphasize their commitment to raising Jewish families, learning about Judaism, remembering the Holocaust, and resisting anti-Semitism. --Jack Forman, Mesa College Library, San Diego.
